Aidan MacDonald a4405cc0cc avcodec/dvdsub_parser: Fix length check for short packets
The DVD subtitle parser handles two types of packets: "normal"
packets with a 16-bit length, and HD-DVD packets that set the
16-bit length to 0 and encode a 32-bit length in the next four
bytes. This implies that HD-DVD packets are at least six bytes
long, but the code didn't actually verify this.

The faulty length check results in an out of bounds read for
zero-length "normal" packets that occur in the input, which are
only 2 bytes long, but get misinterpreted as an HD-DVD packet.
When this happens the parser reads packet_len from beyond the
end of the input buffer. The subtitle stream is not correctly
decoded after this point due to the garbage packet_len.

Fixing this is pretty simple: fix the length check so packets
less than 6 bytes long will not be mistakenly parsed as HD-DVD
packets.
